Street Fighter and the hidden combo
Keep calm and tweet
This is based on the famous poster that was produced by the British government in 1939 at the beginning of the Second World War but the designer of the poster remains unknown. The internet created many more, that don’t tell you to ‘Think of England’.

Jonathon Fisk (special request from two members of the crowd who jumped on stage as the band were walking off stage).
What I will say is that (a) The show was amazing and (b) during the set I was caught off guard when the band pulled out a cover of Wolf Parade’s – Modern World. If you know me, we are friends on last.fm or you follow my tweets, no doubt you would have heard of my love for everything Wolf Parade. Anyway, amoungst all the love of songs from Spoon it was a pleasure to hear them cover (and do justice to) the first Wolf Parade song I heard and the song that got me hooked.
I’m still yet to see Wolf Parade live, so this as good as it gets for now. I found a cover from Britt Daniel (Spoon) playing Modern World from 2008, I’ve uploaded it to share – download!
And for the original, here is Wolf Parade.
PS: Wolf Parade’s new album Expo 86 is out “very” soon … expect a review and many tweets during this time.
